If you do FMQ bring a small sandwich of fabric, battng and fabric. Try different weights of fabric and do something with multiple layers like if you were binding a quilt. If you do anything other than quilting bring materials to try that as well. I am not familiar with this machine - all mine are old- so I am not sure what all it will do but try to explore as many options as you think you will need. Wish I had the dollars for a new machine! I do envy you. Good luck. I hope you get a great deal.
